Policy coverage:
Policy matrix and sectoral coverage
No comprehensive data collection was conducted for this country. We welcome comments to improve the database country coverage. In case you have suggestions, or would like to become a contributor, please contact us at climatepolicydatabase@newclimate.org
The matrix below provides an overview of what constitutes comprehensive climate policy coverage (details are provided here). The options were identified based on policies that are generally agreed to contribute to emissions reductions (IPCC, 2014), represent sector-level example policies, which have been successful in specific contexts (UNFCCC, 2018; UNEP, 2019), or are expected to result in sufficient sectoral transformation to achieve emissions reductions (Mitchell et al., 2011; GEA, 2012; OECD/IEA and IRENA, 2017; IEA, 2018, 2019). For a complete list of climate policies in this country, see the table at the bottom of the page.
